the BasIcs
When you first enter Flipboard, you are asked to click
tiles to reflect which categories you want to see on your
home screen. Once you’ve done this, you need to either “Connect
with Facebook” or sign up using your email account. Whichever
method you use, you can select a unique Flipboard username
during setup. The usual welcome email is sent, requesting you to
confirm your registration. Once this has been completed, you are
ready to start using Flipboard.
>> First link your social media to your Flipboard account. You
can do this by clicking on the social media tiles shown on your
main screen. Once you are signed in to the main page, just press
“+” to begin adding content.One Of the majOr drawbacks of the Internet is the sheer volume of new websites, blogs,
and informative videos available. Flipboard is a dedicated app that helps you to make sense of
all the material out there. It does this first and foremost through its intuitive search feature,
which enables you to look for your favorite topics, then lists relevant articles and users who’ve
assembled similar content.
Flipboard also helps you to stay on top of trending information by collating recent articles
into a Daily Edition of the latest news and views. Once you’ve found a useful link, you can add it
to a virtual smart magazine. There’s no limit to what you can add or the number of magazines
you can create.
You can use Flipboard’s dedicated editor to configure and remove articles and magazines.
This is a vital feature, because new users can sometimes become Flip happy, adding far more
content to smart magazines than they can actually read.
In this guide, you’ll discover how to set up your Flipboard account and choose the topics that
interest you most. You’ll also learn how to customize your newsfeed by using the search bar and
adding content to magazines. –nate drakeYou’ll need this
